Sounds like a misfire. Is your check engine lamp on? Are there any trouble codes stored?

You'll need some sort of code reader, or will need to take it somewhere that has one. In many places, Auto Zone advertises it will read codes for free. I'm guessing you have a code something like P030x where x represents the misfiring cylinder. You can then check the plug, wire, etc. on that cylinder. You can check them beforehand, but won't find out if there are any other trouble codes which may indicate other relevant problems.
